The Adaptive saddle padding is crafted by Carbon using its revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis technology. DLS is an additive manufacturing process which uses digital ultraviolet light projection, oxygen permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, resolution and surface finish.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"section-title\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTAILORED ZONAL CUSHIONING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eUsing Carbon technology, biomechanists and engineers have an unprecedented possibility: to design and manufacture multiple functional zones within the saddle, tuning each of them separately for specific mechanical properties.Each of these key functional zones is engineered with a distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, joined together progressively and seamlessly in the same padding.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"section-title\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLAB TESTED, ROAD PROVEN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eProfessional cyclists and amateur riders were tested in both the fizik labs and on the road. During each development phase, every iteration was carefully tested.

Even with the filthiest road muck, all you need to do is simply hose it over with water. Whatever gets in, gets out.
